Narration

"Finally!" Jeongyeon exclaimed. "You did it?" she asked when she saw Jihyo's eyes. Masskara was smudged on the lower part of her eyes and her eyebrows were slightly erased.

"Yeah, I had to. He wouldn't budge," she replied. "Can you help me with my eyebrows?" Jihyo pulled Jeongyeon aside and handed her the eyebrow pencil and masskara from her make up pouch. She took some make up remover and started their work.

"Guys," Nayeon called out. "They're coming."

"What do you mean?" Nayeon pointed to the 2 figures walking down the street towards the house.

"How did they get the cake so fast?"

"I don't know but let's hide Jihyo first," suggested Jin.

Jeongyeon pulled Jihyo away after doing her make up and shoved her to the nearest room, which was the garden shed. She hurriedly opened the door and shoved Jihyo inside the dusty room.

"Hi guys!" Momo greeted. "Look at what we bought!" She pointed to the cake, a red velvet cake with lots of icing and strawberries.

"Hey! I'm the strawberry princess!" Chaeyoung claimed as she pointed the the abundant strawberries in the cake.

"Well, you said to buy a red cake and this is the only red cake we found," defended Hoseok.

They placed the cake on the table and turned to the others, "So, when is she coming?" asked Momo.

"Any minute now."

"Can the two of you place the cake and this pitcher inside."

"We haven't placed the banner yet."

"Sure," they both answered and took the pitcher and cake inside.

.......

 "Let's help them out," Hoseok said after placing the cake on the long table beside the pitcher Momo carried inside.

"Sure." The walked to the door but as held the knob they heard a clicking sound. After that they both quickly turned the knob. It wouldn't budge because it was locked from the other side.

"Oh no..."

"We're locked in." hissed Hoseok.

Was this what they meant when they said they were going to find a way? Momo looked at Hoseok who was angry after reading a text from Jungkook.

"Have fun?! That kid is going to die."

"Calm down. I know why they did this," Momo said as she shyly looked at Hoseok.

..........

"What are they doing?" asked Nayeon. They were peaking at them from the windows which they tightly locked.

"Ssshhhh..." Everyone turned to her and placed their point finger on their lips. "Quiet."

"Fine, but are they talking?"

"Sssshhhh..."

"Fine."

"Where's Namjoon and Jihyo?" Mina asked. She noticed that the two weren't with them and she grew suspicious.

"I told him to help Jihyo out on something," Nayeon replied.

"Done!" Dahyun cheered showing the key to everyone.

"Nayeon! What did you do this time?" Jeongyeon and Jin asked.

"What?! I just locked them inside the garden shed."

........

"What the?!" JIhyo exclaimed when the door wouldn't open. She had noticed that it closed after Dahyun left, leaving Namjoon and Jihyo inside. Dahyun had told them that Sana dropped her earring in there. Jihyo was aware that Sana was clumsy so she hurriedly looked for it. She left Namjoon to help her find it since Momo and Hoseok were already inside.

"So..." Jihyo started. She walked near the door and sat down.

"So?"

"Nothing, I just can't believe they betrayed us..." she mumbled. She couldn't believe what they did. Using her plan against her. She shook her head and just looked at the guy beside her, sitting on the ground.

"Yeah..."

"You know." Jihyo looked at him and continued saying, "We could use this opportunity to talk. You've been out of sorts lately."

"I think you already know why," he simply said. He opened his phone and showed his wallpaper to her. It was a beautiful picture of Wendy holding a hand that is presumably from the person holding the camera to take the picture, in short Namjoon. It was taken the day they hanged out with their friend. 

"Did she tell you she'd do it?" he asked after a long pause.

"To tell the truth, yes, she did tell me. I even discussed this a little with her but her mind was set to it," Jihyo explained. "Do you accept her decision?"

"I can accept her decision of leaving me for this opportunity, an opportunity to make her dream come true but..."

"But what?"

"I can't let her go. My mind accepts but my heart won't." Hearing his words hurt Jihyo more than she initially thought because it was the same with her. Her mind says to give up but her heart says to pursue. Her mind knows that its futile but her heart just couldn't give up.

"I know the feeling. But Joon you do know that what you are doing is hurting not just yourself but also her. The mind is on top of the heart for a reason," Jihyo said as she stood up from her position beside him. Her back was turned to him before continuing, " Wendy is already having a hard time after leaving you and you're making it hard on her by showing up their apartment during your free time."

Namjoon couldn't respond upon hearing her words. He realized that what she just said were true. "I suggest that you show her that your back to normal for her to focus more on her career." Jihyo turned to the door and it opened revealing Nayeon and Jin.

"I'm going." She walked out of the house and disappeared out of their view.
